The weakest tamer, who was expelled because they could only tame the lowest-ranked trash monsters, awakens the "Breeder" ability. Eventually, they become a hero commanding extraordinary divine beasts and mythical creatures. - Chapter 70
**Episode 070: Rescue**
“What do you want? Don’t get in my way,” the stern, blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty in an expensive white dress armor glared at the men with an irritated expression.
She might be slightly older than me, around 16 to 18 years old, I suppose.
The monster she’s accompanying is a large white tiger-type C-rank monster, White Tiger. Among C-rank monsters, it possesses strong attacking power and ranks high in close combat ability.
Normally, no matter how many men there are, they shouldn’t stand a chance against a girl like her.
“Hey, missy. Weren’t you taught by your parents not to come alone to such places dressed like you’re wealthy?” the leader-like man said mockingly, and his companions laughed along in agreement.
From their appearance, they seem to be my colleagues. Unlike mercenaries in the city, mercenaries in this settlement are rough. I’ve had my share of trouble with them.
I knew the public order was bad, but I never thought there would be guys like them who would surround a girl with a large group.
If I believe the man’s words, their objective must be money.
“If you keep interfering, I won’t go easy on you,” the girl warned.
“What do you mean by ‘won’t go easy’?”
Even though the girl brandished her sword in a threatening manner, the men paid no attention to her.
“I’ll show you some pain. Eirin, let’s go!!”
*Roar*
The girl and the White Tiger, named Eirin, attacked the men.
*Clang*
However, the girl’s attack was intercepted by the man’s dagger.
“What!?”
“Hehe. Such attacks won’t work, missy.”
There aren’t many Tamers who accompany C-rank monsters.
Perhaps the girl has never had her attack blocked before.
At least not by mercenaries.
And two monsters slowly approached from behind the man.
They are the C-rank monster I first encountered in Silver Canyon and the D-rank monster Diamond Wolf.
I never imagined such unsavory guys could tame a C-rank and a D-rank monster each… the world truly is unpredictable.
Although it may not seem like much difference between having one C-rank monster and having two C-rank monsters and one D-rank monster, the benefits received are significantly different.
Especially if they’re trained.
Seeing the tamed monsters and the use of the dagger, it seems the leader is confident in his speed.
“Kuh.”
The girl grimaced as she parried with her sword and created some distance.
“Oops, can’t let you escape,” the man immediately chased after her, closing the distance.
Just as I suspected.
*Growl*
“Angus, Bulger, hold her down!”
*Snarl*
*Howl!!*
Eirin tried to block their path, but was stopped by the leader’s monster.
“Ha!!”
“Kuu!!”
The man’s dagger attacked the beautiful girl. She managed to block it somehow, despite showing signs of struggle.
“Let me show you what happens when a naive rich girl like you comes here alone,” the man, licking his lips with a lecherous gaze, smiled provocatively as the girl, though struggling, defiantly smiled back.
“Hehehe. Quite rebellious, huh. I like it. But, how long can you keep that attitude?”
The man’s excitement grew as he watched the girl’s reaction, and he increased the speed of his attacks.
The girl was busy defending herself, her hands full, and her clothes were torn.
At this rate, she’ll be done for. It’s not good to just watch forever.
Now that I’ve analyzed the men’s strengths, it’s time to act.
To draw attention and not alert the girl, I released Invisibility and punched one of the men surrounding her in the back of the head.
“Gwaaah!!”
The man flew forward and stopped moving.
“Who are you!?”
“When did he…!?”
“We didn’t notice at all!?”
The men began to panic upon seeing their fallen comrade.
Suddenly, a man they thought wasn’t there appeared, and with their ally down, it’s only natural they’d be confused.
*Thud*
*Thud*
*Thud*
Taking advantage of their confusion, I continued to attack and incapacitate the men.
“Ha!!”
The girl, distracted by the commotion, launched an attack at the leader-like man.
“Tch.”
The man deflected the attack and created some distance.
“What are you, anyway? Why are you getting in my way?”
“If a girl is being bullied, it’s normal to help her out, isn’t it?”
“Tch. Can’t be helped. I’ll show you my true power. Hyah!!”
The man’s speed increased even further than before.
He must have used a speed-up magic with his Black Panther. That’s probably what he used.
But with that level of speed, it’s easy to deal with.
I dodged the man’s dagger and punched him squarely in the face.
“Guh!?”
The man couldn’t react at all and was sent flying by my fist.
“W-Why…!?”
The man, unable to move properly, lay on the ground in shock that someone could keep up with his speed.
“It doesn’t matter, does it?”
“Gah!?”
I approached the immobilized man and rendered him unconscious.
*Roar!!*
*Howl!!*
The monsters, angered by their master’s defeat, attacked me, but I easily knocked them out, too.
I made sure not to hurt them too much.
“Are you okay?”
“Who are you!?”
As I approached the beautiful girl who had been observing while I subdued the men, she became extremely cautious despite my having just saved her.
